The metrics of social media to deliver any kind of meaningful return /reaction are mind-boggling. Paying to resteem to 8000+ (untargeted) accounts is throwing good money after bad. Just like advertising on Facebook to 'targeted' accounts. Even if your product is 'hot' they mostly won't respond in a profitable numbers

If there are ONLY about 50,000 active users on Steemit at any one time (peaking in the USA time zones) you could promise free beer all week, never mind Fridays and be lucky to get 50 hits. And of those a lot of mindless copy/paste replies or abuse.
